-=== Highlights April 2020 ===+{{ :dev:products:whats_new:20.4.png?nolink&800 }}
  
-This release has its focus on all Desktop Products and Core. Next to layout improvements and bug fixes, a lot of attention went to the Measurement Sidebar: One single sidebar includes the 2D and 3D measurement tools that can be used on any Map, Tab or View. \\ Make sure you activate the Beta Functionalities to be ahead of upcoming new features.+===== Highlights April 2020 =====
  
-Timelines are introduced in the 3DM Viewer that is used by the 3DM Publisher and Cloud. Adding a Time Tag allows Resources to be filtered per view by Time or Time Range. +**Simplification and Unification**\\ 
-Definitely notice the Layout makeover of the 3DM Viewer. The improvements make the viewer much more userfriendly and intuitive to use. Did you see the simplified access to Close View?+A lot of attention went to the Measurement Sidebar of the Desktop Products. Today one single sidebar includes the 2D and 3D measurement tools that can be used on any Map, Tab or View. The Asset Inventory Procedure also takes advantage of this improvement. \\ 
  
 +Layout improvements and unifications spread over the entire interface optimize the standard look and feel. \\
 +A list of new features contribute to this unification spread over the entire desktop workflow: 
 +  * Tasks can be sent to the Task Manager while its running, including the Colorize Point Cloud procedure.
 +  * The results of the Clash Detection and Clearance checker Extension become available in the dataset list, which allows the user to easily import the results in a Theme.
 +  * The contour lines extensions can now be used on a selected area from the point cloud dataset.
 +  * Semi-Automatic measurements are now possible on the combined point clouds of Mapping Projects.
 +  * Shapes can be created on Map 3D.
 +  * ...
  
-{{ :dev:products:whats_new:20.4.png?nolink&800 }}+The 3DM Viewer used by the Publisher and Cloud software got a major layout optimization. Fewer clicks and a more intelligible interface make the viewer more userfriendly and intuitive to use. 
 + 
 +**Easy handling of More Data in the 3DM Viewer**\\ 
 +Timelines are introduced in the 3DM Viewer that is used by the 3DM Publisher and Cloud. Adding a Time Tag allows Resources to be filtered per view by Time or Time Range. This allows you to better detect changes over time and compare and measure changes. 
 + 
 +The Viewer can also handle the use of multiple Base Maps and Dynamic Resources are implemented in the Publisher. 
 +This allows the publication, hosting really big resource groups, to load on the fly local resources at the focus coordinate without loading the full resource.
  
 +** Check what's next**\\
 +Activate the Beta Functionalities in the desktop products to be ahead of upcoming new features. \\
